Biding Time

Jeremy Liggins isn't sweating the recruiting process. Rather, he is waiting it out. He could make a decision anytime, as long as it's the right time.

In no particular order, Ole Miss, Alabama, LSU and Mississippi State are his favorite schools. And they're all even.

"I don't really know when I'm going to make a decision," he said. "I'm just sitting back and staying back with what I'm going to do. I could make a decision 30 minutes from now. You never know."

His summer is mostly about working on his game. A quarterback, he is nowhere near a finished product.

"I'm going to be working on my footwork this season, man," he said. "Last season, I was working on my passing more. I feel comfortable with my passing. Now I'm just trying to get my footwork down when I'm in the pocket."

The 6-foot-4, 260-pound Liggins -- rated a three-star recruit by Scout.com. -- worked with Ole Miss offensive coordinator David Lee at the two-day elite camp. The two covered basic fundamentals, Liggins said.

"I learned some basic fundamentals and stuff. Just some little stuff I need to correct. And (Coach Lee), he showed me some things I need to work on. Coach Lee's a good coach," he said.

"I like Ole Miss, you know? It's a good school. It's up at the top. It's a good hometown school. My family's here, so I know it wouldn't be hard for them to be at the games and see me."

Liggins, who combined to total 2,847 yards and 37 touchdowns as a junior last season, quarterbacked his Lafayette Commodores in a handful of 7-on-7 scrimmages against South Panola and Grenada Monday morning.

No scores were kept or format followed, but Liggins was pleased with the team's performance.

"It went real good, man. We won all our games over there," Liggins said. "I felt like I did pretty good. But without my receivers, there would be no completions. We worked together, and we went on ahead and whooped ‘em. We wanted to go over and compete. That's all we do."

Come decision time, Liggins said he is looking to land at the school where he feels the most comfortable. Education and playing time will play a part, as well.

"I just want to feel comfortable where I'm at," he said. "I want to know I'm going to get a good education where I'm at. I'm looking for playing time, too, when I get in there. But I know it's on me when I get in there that I got to work hard."

Each school, he said, is recruiting him as a quarterback, not an athlete.

"I feel like I can play quarterback, I just got to get out there and show them what I can do," Liggins said.
